it's baffling that HOAs don't have strict regulation on how they're run, how it should work is like any other association: elections every X years, any member can run for positions, and operations have to be documented and transparent.

pretty sure HOAs exist everywhere, you kinda need an entity to coordinate local amenities like water pipes and roads. The problem in the US is just that HOAs can make up any arbitrary requirements they want and no one seems to give a shit.

in sane countries HOA-equivalents have pretty strict limits on what they can and cannot do, generally their ability to outright ban things is limited to extreme cases like someone painting their house magenta and lime stripes or having 8 cows in their backyard.

so don't run the full model, condensed models are still fine

or are we really going to act like children who want their new shiny toy and won't accept anything less?

going with a triangle low-poly pattern is probably the only thing that can make the shape of the car make any sort of sense, i've never understood how the flat bare metal look is supposed to be appealing

plastic is cheap, plastic is light, plastic is durable. it's not that strange that PET bottles became the standard

but like, why wouldn't they recycle their bottles? PET bottles are the single easiest to recycle plastic, they very obviously have the infrastructure to do it, are they just not doing it in the US because being shitheads is part of their mission statement?

perhaps we're coming at this from the wrong direction, does a bee even need lenses? maybe what they actually need is just eye protection, which would make everything much cheaper
